I did a proper hike today, 8 miles, 3150 feet of elevation gain. For the first time I went up the “new” Mount Si trail. I have gotten to the top of Si several times but in the past, always from the Old Trail or via Mount Teneriffe trail.
I have avoided the main trail because it has a reputation of being massively crowded. So I started early on a week day and I only encountered a few people on the way up. On the way down – over and over and over I had to step aside (the trail is mostly pretty narrow) to let the uphillers go by.
So I guess this will be one and done for me. I did it and that’s good enough. The other routes are fine with me.
Track is below.
